Abstract		Diving is a temporary activity in an evironment to which we are not adapted. That's why we do not feel or sense in any way the changes in our environment that are potentillay or already harmful. Medical problems can occur in apnoea diving as well as in diving with scuba equipment. The main problem is the excessively high pressure increasing with depth. As our body consist of some 90% of incompressible liquid and bone, the areas directly affected are those filled with gas. The increased partial pressures of gasses we inhale in depth is the basis for decompression sickness.
Summary		Potapljanje je občasno gibanje v okolju, na katerega nismo prilagojeni. Zaradi tega škodljivih sprememb ne zaznavamo ali pa jih zaznamo prepozno. Do zapletov prihaja pri potaplanju na dah in pri potapljanju s stisnjeno mešanico plinov. Vzrok za okvaro je predvsem neobičajno visok tlak v okolju. Ker je tekočina, ki sestavlja večji del našega telesa, slabo stisljiva, so največkrat prizadeti votli organi, ki so izpolnjenji z zrakom in plini. Zaradi visokega tlaka v okolju pride tudi do hitrejšega rztapljanja plinov v tkivih, kar je podlaga za dekompresijsko bolezen.
